Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans plans to return to the NFL in 2026, potentially exploring free agency options this offseason, leaving his future with the team uncertain. A six-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, Evans has spent his entire 12-year career with Tampa Bay, recording 866 receptions for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns. Despite a disappointing 8-9 finish last season, the Buccaneers retained head coach Todd Bowles while making changes to the coaching staff. Evans, who signed a two-year, $52 million contract before the 2024 season, had his streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons end last year due to injuries.
